precipitate means insoluble. Usually white stuff or something is found that doesn't dissolve in water. If aqueous solution yields a solid it is the precipitate

Is Pb(NO3)2 2KI PbI2 2KNO3 neutralisation or precipitation?

Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI ==> PbI2 + 2KNO3 is a precipitation reaction. The PbI2 is insoluble in water and will precipitate. It is NOT neutralization, because you do not have an acid reacting with a base.


What is an observable reaction?

An observable reaction is a change that can be measured, detected, or witnessed during a chemical or physical process. This can include changes in color, temperature, precipitation, gas formation, or the release of light or sound. It provides evidence that a chemical reaction or a physical change has occurred.


When calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid react bubbles form. How do you know a reaction occurred?

You can tell that a reaction occurred because you observed the formation of bubbles, which indicates the release of a gas (carbon dioxide) as a product of the reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. The appearance of bubbles is a clear sign of a chemical change taking place.


Can the combustion reaction CH4 202---CO2 2H2O be classified as a precipitation reaction?

No. Precipitation is the formation of a solid in a solution during a chemical reaction. When the reaction occurs, the solid formed is called the precipitate, and the liquid remaining above the solid is called the supernate. Obviously CH4 + 2O2 = Co2 + 2H2O - in other words 1 methane + 2 oxygen = 1 Carbon Dioxide + 2 water - Does not form a solid in a solution so can not be a precipitation reaction.

This is a precipitation chemical reaction.


Is there a precipitation reaction between potassium sulfate and strontium iodide?

Yes, a precipitation reaction occurs when potassium sulfate and strontium iodide are mixed. Potassium sulfate and strontium iodide react to form strontium sulfate, which is insoluble in water, leading to its precipitation as a solid.


How we know a chemical change has occurred when burning a candle?

Burning is a chemical reaction, an oxydation.


Why are precipitation reactions also called double displacement reactions?

They aren't. Double displacement (metathesis) sometimes forms a precipitate, but not always, and it would be silly to call it a "precipitation reaction" if no precipitate was formed. Formation of a precipitate is, however, one way to tell that a reaction has occurred. If everything just stays in solution, then it's meaningless to call it a "reaction" since there has been no change. The evolution of a gas is another method for determining that a reaction has occurred, as is a change in color (this often indicates a change in oxidation state as well, though not always).


A precipitation reaction is a reaction between two aqueous solutions that results in the formation of a compound. Answer?

A precipitation reaction contains two aqueous reactants, one aqueous product, and one solid product. A precipitation reaction will produce an insoluble product.

What is a ''non'' reversible reaction?

A non-reversible reaction is a chemical reaction in which the products cannot readily revert back to the original reactants. This means that once the reaction has occurred, it is not easily undone under normal conditions. Examples include combustion reactions and many precipitation reactions.


What is precipitation reaction reaction?

A precipitation reaction is one in which two solutions react to form an insoluble solid called a precipitate and a precipitate is an insoluble solid which is formed on mixing certain solutions.
